Planet Earth’s red neighbour has long been the inspiration for a healthy number of works ranging from Hollywood blockbusters to sci-fi books. Now you can add Volition’s Red Faction game for the PC to that list. Unless you’ve been really stuck on Mars, you’ll know that Red Faction is the much-awaited first person shooter (FPS) from the people responsible for the Descent and Freespace series. Released earlier this year on the PlayStation2 platform, Red Faction puts you in the mining boots of Parker who unwittingly finds himself being pushed into the forefront of a miner revolt on Mars.
